Language Contact and Morphosyntactic Complexity: Evidence from German
The article focuses on the hypothesis that the structural complexity of languages is variable and historically changeable. By means of a quantitative statistical analysis of naturalistic corpus data, the question is raised as to what role language contact and adult second language acquisition play in the simplification and complexification of language varieties. The results confirm that there i...
متن کاملIncremental Morphosyntactic Disambiguation of Nouns in German-Language Law Texts∗
Morphosyntactic disambiguation is a crucial pre-processing step for the recognition of grammatical functions in morphologically rich languages like German and heavily nominalized domains like law texts. This paper explores how far linguistically motivated hard rules can contribute to morphosyntactic disambiguation. It introduces an incremental system that is capable of reducing the rate of morp...
متن کاملExperiments in Morphosyntactic Processing for Translating to and from German
We describe two shared task systems and associated experiments. The German to English system used reordering rules applied to parses and morphological splitting and stemming. The English to German system used an additional translation step which recreated compound words and generated morphological inflection.
متن کاملOn German-Croatian and Italian-Croatian language contact.
Croatia has always been a multilingual environment. The influence of German and Italian was empowered through direct political influence. During the second part of the 18th and in the 19th century native speakers of German and Italian used Croatian as a second language carrying out their duties at work. This bilingualism can tentatively be referred to as bureaucratic bilingualism. Native Croati...
متن کاملVerbal Morphosyntactic Disambiguation through Topological Field Recognition in German-Language Law Texts
The morphosyntactic disambiguation of verbs is a crucial pre-processing step for the syntactic analysis of morphologically rich languages like German and domains with complex clause structures like law texts. This paper explores how much linguistically motivated rules can contribute to the task. It introduces an incremental system of verbal morphosyntactic disambiguation that exploits the conce...
